Creating an off-season "academy" for learning a new pitch or grip

Absolutely.  I would almost be shocked if they hadn't picked up a former Driveline employee or someone who had worked at a similar less popular lab.  But a lot of this stuff deals with athletics and body motion in general.  You don't absolutely need a 'baseball' guy.  You need folks that understand how the body works most efficiently, technology to capture motion, and plans/paths to achieving that desired movement.  

 

Since the new executive team took over in November 2018, led by GM Mike Elias and AGM Sig Mejdal, the Orioles have built out a robust group of coaches and analysts to modernize the franchise’s then-lagging baseball operations. Now, they’ve assembled a management team can interpret and apply such data sources, rather than contracting out some of that work to biomechanics consultancies such as provided by Reboot Motion or Driveline Baseball.

 

“Fully in-house. We've hired the people that we feel are necessary to process the data at every step of the way,” Blood says. “And then we've got coaches who are hungry for that information and will put that into play on both the pitching coach side and the strength and conditioning side.”

We do have those types of guys too.  Drew French and Jordie Henry have run their own "labs" and clinics.  

Driveline is just the guerilla in the space that everyone knows.
